Does anyone count rain as watering your outside plants? If so do you say you watered early even if it’s several days before you are supposed to water your plants?

I have this jasmine plant (star, I think?) outside my house. It was planted by the HOA before I bought it, (new build so they got fancy with their plants) and I wanted to know the best way to propagate this one. Itls it the normal cut above the leaf node put it in some fertilized water like normal or is there more to this one? The heat has already dried out the flowers that just bloomed on it but I'm in zone 9a so we get hot early. I want to container plant it and use it as privacy screening for my balcony. It's east facing, mostly sunny. I personally have better luck with water propagation then soil, but if one method is better I'll give it a go.

Where do I propagate this spider plant? Is there a special way or can I just cut a leaf and put it in water?

I’ve never seen or had a citronella plant grow like this! Can or should I cut it back some and try to propagate more out of it?

Hi! Im a new parent of my plants and I just got newly cut Begonia Maculata from my fiancé mom and I tried putting it directly to potting mix but Ive noticed that the leaves started to curl but not in a dry way so today Ive decided use sphagnum moss and covered the top with wrap hoping for extra humidity. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hello peeps! I am growing cabbages and I watched a video that said cut off the weaker one, I think when they have their first real leaves. But I am not really sure when I should cut back the smaller one. I will send a picture and you can tell me when lol. Thank you!

Deliciosa prop - root growth is doing well, but one of the leaves is starting to lose its color. It is not the leaf with new growth on it. Should I cut it to make sure new growth is being prioritized?

Hi all, so I'm trying to save a wandering Jew plant from months of neglecting watering and fertilizing. I so far have its healthy stems (cut at a 45° angle) in water with Osmocote Plus plant food. What else can I do to give it a fighting chance?

So excited to have found a Raven ZZ (well a cutting at least!) The leaves on the left are still attached to the stem and the three leaves on the right are from the same cutting, dipped in rooting hormone and have them in perlite. Hopeful that all will develop roots 🤞🏻 anyone with a Raven ZZ have any prop tips?

I’ve had success propagating snake plants in water in the past, but this time around I’m not getting any roots at all. I did let them callus for 2 days before putting them in water but they seemed to just rot still. I cut off an inch and am letting them callus again as I’m going to try in soil. Any suggestions are appreciated. I don’t want these babies going to waste!

My teacher has put me in charge of her plants for the rest of the year because she said I seem to know more about it than her! And I’m wondering how to propagate an aloe Vera?

I recently (Saturday) propagated my monstera and the cutting is all droopy. Is this normal?

hi everyone!! so i have had a satin pothos cutting in water trying to propagate it for over a month now & it’s still not growing any roots. am i doing something wrong or is this normal? i was expecting it to take 2-4 weeks, but its probably been 6 & there’s not even a peek of a root popping out yet! edit: i used filtered water & i do not have rooting powder so didnt use any of that. i’m thinking maybe i need to cut it closer to the node?
